Pairing high quality updates with quintessential historic foursquare character, 3308 Garland Avenue is a gem nestled in the heart of northside’s Brookland Park. Brick steps lead to a wide, cheery front porch, perfect for drinking coffee on the porch swing in warm weather. Through the front door, greet guests in the spacious foyer and then visit in the living room, featuring white brick fireplace and bespoke built-ins by local cabinetry designer, Martin-Star. Gather for meals in the dining room, which boasts natural light from large windows on two sides and historic picture rails and trim. Adjacent kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances; its back door leads to the home’s rear porch and backyard. The downstairs bath is located off the central hall and features subway tile surround in shower and updated fixtures. A second door off the center hall leads downstairs to the home’s unfinished basement with laundry and 780 sqft of storage. On the home’s second floor, find the primary bedroom, featuring modern and historic built-in shelves and dual closets. The second and third bedrooms are sun-soaked with abundant natural light, while the fourth bedroom or office space includes door access onto a rear balcony, which overlooks the backyard. The updated hall bath, with tile surround and extra wide vanity, complete the home’s interior space. Buyers will adore the lovingly maintained original hardwoods throughout, historic door knobs, and updated lighting fixtures. They will also enjoy hosting friends in the backyard, with its 20’ wide covered porch and ample landscaping, including autumn blaze and Japanese maples, peonies, roses, banana plants, and more. Buyers seeking a workshop space need not look further than the detached garage. Location cannot be beat; half a mile from The Smoky Mug and Ruby Scoops, three blocks from Barack Obama Elementary, less than a mile through neighborhood roads to Lewis Ginter Recreation Association, and easy proximity to highways and downtown.
